She lets out a mighty breath
Her waves growing in intensity
Undulating smoothly
She washes the shoreline
Gently receding
Above her
Sky has grown ominous, sinister
Clouds twisting, writhing
Rolling over and spreading
Creating a vacuum
Forcing waves to monstrous proportions
The beauty of the storm
Is lost on the plateau
Below her
As trees are torn
Relentlessly dispatched in flight
Nothing and no one
Is safe
As all the forces of nature
Take over and consume
All that is in their path
